WildcatMail

California State University, Chico considers e-mail to be the essential method for communicating official University business with students. Each student is provided with a campus WildcatMail email account. Review the contents of your WildcatMail account on a frequent and regular basis. Communications from your instructors, as well as official notifications from the university regarding enrollment, fees, holds and financial aid will only be sent to your WildcatMail account.

If you do not want to check your WildcatMail account on a regular basis, you can have your emails forwarded to another email address. Forwarding instructions[8] are available in the ITSS Knowledge Base.

Grades & Transcripts

Faculty may submit grades anytime after the class ends and no later than August 23 and grades can be viewed in the Portal[9].

Official transcripts are obtained from the Students Records Office. For more information, or to request a transcript, visit their website[10].
